Methods and systems for creating labels from a template can involve correcting an image of a form captured by an image-capturing device, detecting in the image of the form a group of features including one or more polygons, and one or more writable areas in polygon(s), creating a template of the form based on the group of features detected in the image, and transmitting the template electronically to a requester of the template.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method for creating labels from a template, comprising: correcting an image of a form captured by an image-capturing device; detecting in the image of the form with a sensor, a plurality of features including at least one polygon, and at least one writable area in the at least one polygon, the sensor comprising at least one of a scanner and a feature detection application; creating a template of the form based on the plurality of features detected in the image; and transmitting the template electronically to a requester of the template.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein correcting the image of the form captured by the image-capturing device comprises: de-skewing the image.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising automatically configuring the template as a label form template for use as a printable label by the requester.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising capturing the image of the form with an image-capturing device.
5. The method of claim 4 wherein the image-capturing device comprises a digital camera.
6. The method of claim 4 wherein the image-capturing device comprises the scanner.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of features further comprises at least one of: text, at least one image within the at least one polygon, and color in the at least one polygon.
8. A system for creating labels from a template, comprising: at least one processor; and a non-transitory computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer-usable medium operable to communicate with the at least one processor, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor and operable to: correct an image of a form captured by an image-capturing device; detect in the image of the form with a sensor, a plurality of features including at least one polygon, and at least one writable area in the at least one polygon, the sensor comprising at least one of a scanner and a feature detection application; create a template of the form based on the plurality of features detected in the image; and transmit the template electronically to a requester of the template.
9. The system of claim 8 wherein the instructions executable by the at least one processor and operable to correct the image of the form captured by the image-capturing device, further comprise instructions configured to: de-skew the image.
10. The system of claim 8 wherein the instructions further comprise instructions executable by the at least one processor and operable to automatically configure the template as a label form template for use as a printable label by the requester.
11. The system of claim 8 further comprising capturing the image of the form with an image-capturing device.
12. The system of claim 11 wherein the image-capturing device comprises a digital camera.
13. The system of claim 11 wherein the image-capturing device comprises the scanner.
14. The system of claim 8 wherein the plurality of features further comprises at least one of: text, at least one image within the at least one polygon, and color in the at least one polygon.
15. A system for creating labels from a template, comprising: an image-capturing device that captures an image of a form that is then subject to a correction; a sensor that detects in the image of the form, a plurality of features including at least one polygon, and at least one writable area in the at least one polygon, the sensor comprising at least one of a scanner and a feature detection application; and a template of the form created based on the plurality of features detected in the image, wherein the template is electronically transmitted to a requester of the template.
16. The system of claim 15 wherein the correction comprises de-skewing of the image captured by the image-capturing device.
17. The system of claim 15 wherein the template is automatically configured as a label form template for use as a printable label by the requester.
18. The system of claim 15 wherein the image-capturing device comprises a digital camera.
19. The system of claim 15 wherein the image-capturing device comprises the scanner.
20. The method of claim 15 wherein the plurality of features further comprises at least one of: text, at least one image within the at least one polygon, and color in the at least one polygon.
